forget slow burn romance, give me slow burn found family. give me enemies to friends to siblings. tired, weary old mentors learning to live again for their plucky young apprentices. heroes sharing apartments after world saving adventures because they’re so used to living with each other. dramatic “oh shit” moments where one gets kidnapped and the other realizes “god, that’s my kid.” i want to sit and watch in agony for thirty chapters while two idiots slowly adopt each other, someone get on it

Some of the Reasons I loved Black Panther:
- Healthy family relationships
- Complex female characters centre-stage, and not given forced/awkward dialogue to draw attention to their gender
- Male characters expressing emotions, men crying on-screen, not shown as weakness
- The costume design holy shit
- Shuri
- M’Baku
- “When she wants to”
So [Black Panther] is actually very African… Lupita, you grew up in Kenya. Danai, you grew up in Zimbabwe. What does it mean to both of you to see African culture celebrated in this way?
Can we leave all the “psychiatric medication is bad, evil and unnecessary” discourse in 2017 where it belongs and fucking accept that the brain is an organ that can get sick and need treatment just like any other part of the body?
Yeah I reblogged this 3x in a row. It was on purpose. Fight me.
Executive dysfunction: it’s like playing D&D, and your skill level is high enough, but you keep rolling a one.
How would Eliot fare in Cutthroat Kitchen?
I think he’d be cranky to be on it in the first place tbh, because for Eliot cooking is something really emotional and personal. He’ll do it commercially, like I assume sometimes he cooks at the brewpub, and he’ll do it for a con, but to do it on a television show like that, I think he’d find it crass (not that I do, but Eliot would). So he’d be on it for a con, I assume, and that’d make him cranky. MURDER EYES. And the con probably would hinge on him losing, but it’s real easy to win by accident on Cutthroat Kitchen, so he’d probably go home with all the money AND a win, forcing Hardison to take his place backstage and do the shit he was supposed to do after losing.
I bet at one point Eliot serves an empty plate in an attempt to lose and still wins because “if he couldn’t make it perfectly he wouldn’t serve me substandard food, and I love the glimpse that gives into the mindset of the chef.” – The Guest Celebrity Judge.
“Okay,
Hardison, I need you to steal a place on the…”“No.”
Nate
stilled and frowned. Out of the whole crew, Eliot was perhaps the
most reasonable one. So why now…?“Eliot,
we need to infiltrate the show from the inside to get to our mark, we
need you to participate in it. It’s the easiest way to make you
interesting to Marlow.”Eliot
breathed sharply through his nose and, after a long while, nodded
curtly.“Fine,”
he rasped. Nate hummed, satisfied, and was about to give Hardison a
set of instruction when the hitter spoke once more. “But there
is no way I’m cheating my way in. If I do that, I do that right.”***
as much as we all including (especially) me love “wild child teddy lupin” we have to realize that this is rita skeeter and although it is very likely that teddy is a wild child it’s just as likely that he’s a little remus lupin the second who victoire walks all over and who hasnt stopped blushing since that bloody article came out

think about the people of Hogwarts who are so accustomed to seeing a rather angry, grumpy, depressed, and overall stressed Harry suddenly walking around the halls holding hands with Ginny, a huge smile on his face and eyes bright. and when they’re sitting in the common room together he looks relaxed and peaceful and teachers notice he’s just a bit happier during lessons and then they see them sitting at dinner together and smile, because Harry looks genuinely happy for the first time in years. just a happy Harry Potter canoodling with Ginny Weasley (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
like i have my problems with harry potter and jk rowling but it will never stop meaning something to me that rowling was a depressed 30-year single mother living on welfare when she thought of this story, that she was – in her own words– at rock bottom and she managed to put herself out there, to create this brilliant amazing series that has impacted so many people’s lives. there’s something to be said for hope.
